Medical Apartheid

Harriet Washington, Medical Apartheid: The Dark History Of Medical Experimentation On Black Americans From Colonial Times To The Present Journalist and medical ethicist Harriet Washington details medical research on African-Americans from colonial times to the 20th century. She describes the Tuskegee Syphilis Study that began in 1932 and was conducted by the US Public Health Service. Almost 400 African-American men were withheld treatment for syphilis to study how the disease would affect them in its late stages.
